Suggestions for Rank #1: keep everything the same except: try just a little longer, dangling wispy willow branches, (but not as dense as in Rank #2)...and then lighten the background just a litle and add the skyline like in Rank #2.
Suggestions for Rank #2: thin the branches a lot...it should look wispy and willowy; then take out the pond. Try it with a white tree and white bench .......and also try it with a dark green tree and dark green bench.
Suggestions for Rank
#4: just thin the branches to look more wispy and willowy.
Thanks, and hopefully we will be able to choose soon from these.
